In a May interview with The Guardian, the singer revealed she was pregnant with her third child, calling the experience "brilliant" at the time. A star since she was 11, Charlotte's hard-partying ways as a teen became the subject of tabloid fodder. But she explained how this pregnancy had already changed her life forever.

"It’s great, it’s lovely. I don’t know if I’ll ever be a party girl again," said Charlotte, who became a mum for the first time at age 21.

"It feels very different this time around."

Charlotte, who started as a classical performer, was known for having the "Voice of an Angel" with hits including 2005's 'Call My Name'. She is currently performing on her tour, Charlotte Church’s Late Night Pop Dungeon.
